This slideshare is about the global education crisis that is going on and how it effects early childhood learning.

1. Global Education
Crisis
Sumayo Abdi

2. Why does it resonate
for you?
• The article resonates with because it's
showing us the massive decline in basic
learning skills for children and the increase
in illiteracy in adults and how we can
overcome them. Children from low-income
families or immigrant families from high-
income countries all suffer the same
consequences of failing and having poor
education through the school years. The
article mentions the annual cost of the
failure being 129 billion dollars just for the
children to grow up not understanding basic
education and learning skills. This should be
a big wake up call to many countries that
are experiencing this because while almost
close to nothing is improving the money is
being used wrong to teach the students.

3. How can your interest
be applied locally?
• This interest can be applied locally by
making some changes in how we
teach students and how the teacher
are trained. Not all student learn the
same and that can be a starting point
for figuring out the many ways to
educate different students.
• It's mentioned in the article that we
should train teachers to support the
weakest learner at an early age and
that can lead to children
understanding and learning better
during later years in their education.

4. Where can you personally make
the greatest contribution?
• The best place I can personally make
the greatest contribution is looking
at different schools that are having
an increase in learning during their
early education and seeing the
different between those that are
declining. We can make changes if
we know where things are going
wrong in our schools and districts for
our children.
• We can also take this globally and
see what is wrong and right with the
early education system and fix them.

5. Is there a feature of social media that
can be uniquely applied to this goal?
• Social media can be used uniquely to
apply and show what is going on for the
future of our children. We can use
Instagram, Twitter, Tiktok and many
different websites to post Ads of research
that’s been done and how our education
is drastically failing for children globally
and what we can do to change it.
• We can show what we can do to help by
providing access to teachers to train
better and the changes that can do for
the children's early learning minds and
environment.
• If we can provide the school boards and
parents with the information needed to
help the education system, then positive
changes will come our way.
